John Joubert
(b. 1927)
Symphony #1, Op. 20 (1956)
London Philharmonic Orchestra/Vernon Handley
Lyrita SRCD322 31:17
South African-born Joubert has spent most of his life in England and the traces of Edward Elgar, William Walton, even Malcolm Arnold, in his music are apparent. Vernon Handley, who has done so much for English music, conducts this for all it's worth. The very short playing time is more than compensated by a reduced price.
